I've been glued to the weather channel watching all things Hurricane Harvey. Some of the Weather Channel meteorologists are hard core!!
On a completely different note why does my baby always wake up pissed off!? I mean, I get it. I don't want to wake up either! But are babies who wake up happy, babbling & singing unicorns?

lollipop I've promised myself a beautiful "happy planner" next fall. I'm already excited about it. My plan is to get a nice planner for next Christmas or fall if I stick with it. There's no sense in wasting the money if I'm not sure I'll use it consistently.

Have you checked the planner board here? ❤️ No, I've been using pinterest to figure out what elements I want and what I think will work for me. I haven't even started yet though. I need to wait a couple of weeks for H's next paycheck. Plus by then all the school supplies will be on clearance.

I need to wait a couple of weeks for H's next paycheck. Plus by then all the school supplies will be on clearance. Have you tried starting really simply? I find for me making lists really helps my motivation and the amount I get done. When I'm on top of it I make one every day. I use a paperback Moleskine, but a spiral notebook would work great, too. I have thought about getting more involved with it and looked into bullet journals, planners, etc, but it seems like so much WORK to get started. And there are so many "rules" that I feel kind of intimidated by the whole thing.

If any of you are the praying kind please send prayers or just good thoughts to our j16 friend newmomma. She lives outside of Houston. Her house is flooding. Her entire neighborhood is covered in water. They are stuck upstairs with no way to get out. So scared for her right now and everyone in this position. The rain has no end in site. 😥

nellieoleson I've tried just making lists and I always ignore them. I think if I make a planner that I like to use and is fun I might stick to it better. For now it's just going to be a binder with like graph paper and calender pages.

I haven't seen any update anywhere from her in awhile. 🙁 Maybe saving phone batteries? I imagine their power is out. Ugh. That sounds so scary.

I'm starting some weekday prep. So far I've made baked pumpkin oatmeal and started the stuffed eggplant. Laundry is put away, but dd2 decided to take off her pull up last night so I have beds to make. Our bushes are out of control and we have a break in the rain today so we should do that, but I'm exhausted and hope to nap as soon as the girls go down...which will be as soon as I find the energy to make their beds.

Newmomma posted a bit ago. Her whole neighborhood was rescued by airboat and brought to higher ground. Friends picked them up and her dad is coming to get them. They are safe!!

Yesterday I completely reorganized our 3 "junk drawers" in the kitchen. They were already organized but I was constantly frustrated with all the stuff that piles up on the counters above them. It dawned on me yesterday that even though those drawers were organized we rarely use anything out them. Duh! So I consolidated down to one drawer. Put away the needed but seldom used things somewhere else out of the way, & trashed a bunch. In the process I freed up 2 drawers to store school supplies, takeout menus, charge cords, etc. all the things taking up space out in the open. Now that counter just houses the phone and the coffee maker. I ❤️ decluttering! When I have the motivation to do it. 😳
Today I steamcleaned the tile floors. After I get DD down for her nap I need to shower and get ready for a baby shower.

I'm glad to hear newmomma is ok!
I'm starting a new morning routine tomorrow. We all need to get adjusted to the school schedule. I'm not sure what the plan is for H's days off though.

Was very relieved to see newmomma got out ok. Can't imagine the damage to their house from all that water. I am so sheltered from things like this where I live...

My mom is awesome. She bought me a binder and let me raid her scrapbook supplies to make a cover. Now I just need paper and dividers and pretty pens. And maybe a ruler...
